Option(s) to disable Security and Operations tabs

Problem to solve

Unless something is done to enable them (sometimes requiring external services, as far as I can see), there's nothing to see in the Security and Compliance and Operations tabs of a project.

Intended users

Developers and plain users, especially if they are not administrators of the project.

Further details

The tabs just have some placeholder pages with no real use (unless some other actions are taken, as mentioned above), clutter the sidebar, and add confusion.

Proposal

Add one or two options to disable the Security and Compliance and Operations tabs completely, similar to Packages or Wiki.

Permissions and Security

Owner or Maintainer.

Documentation

Testing

I think the only risk is people forgetting the features exist once they have disabled the tabs.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Fewer questions about what those tabs mean. Fewer unproductive clicks ("what is this? oh, something useless...").

What is the type of buyer?

It should be free, if you ask me
